About this map

Falling Spring Valley dominates this landscape, where the Jackson River carves its way through the mountainous borderlands of Bath and Alleghany counties. The river is constrained by prominent ridges such as Bolar Mtn and Warm Springs Mtn, eventually widening into the significant northern reaches of Lake Moomaw. This reservoir is a central geographic feature, bordered by landforms like Perkins Point and Greavers Ridge.

Settlement patterns follow the valley floors and narrow gaps, with small communities such as Falling Spring, Carloover, and Tinkertown situated along the primary transit corridors. The geography here is defined by numerous drafts and hollows, including Lemon Hollow and Suck Lick Hollow, which feed into the larger river system. Within the George Washington National Forest, the map records essential infrastructure for navigating this complex terrain, including Kelly Bridge and the Coles Mountain Fire Trl.
